Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cherries In The Snow

As many do know, I‘m not exactly a lipstick kind of girl. Not even a lip gloss type, to be quite honest. I have somehow drifted from glosses and I do gravitate more towards the lipstick side. But during most days, I stick to a good lip balm. Imagine having one of the best lip balms, such as the Nuxe Reve de Miel one, underneath such a juicy and plump color such as pictured above? I am currently working through my night shift – during that time I would not even care if I arrived with no make-up at work nor would anyone notice. However, I felt like pepping myself up and I‘ve applied Cherries In The Snow lightly just before closing the door behind me, while on the way out of the house. You would not believe that a lady sat next to me in public transport and commented on how lovely I appear. After I answered what I have on my lips, she just smiled and said; “I knew it”.

If you are expecting to get a true red out of this lipstick – you will be disappointed. This is a really bold berry lip color. Rich, dark fuchsia of very strong blue undertones and kind of leaning towards red. If I apply it straight from the bullet, I get such a strong bold lip. It really is intense. But it is also very versatile because you can lightly pat it on the lips and get a lovely stain which will last for hours. If applied over a lip balm, it will not get a downgraded intensity – this is a highly pigmented lipstick, people. Have I mentioned that my coworker also noted how pretty this shade suits me? It is really incredible how people react to it. My colleague promised that she will wear more bold lipstick in the future because I inspired her to do so with my pick.

Packaging is pretty plain but not unappealing in any way. Functional is the right word. The clear top makes finding the right shade easy. It is made out of firm black plastic with a sophisticated golden ring right in the middle. Place holder of the lipstick and the entire bullet is firm, compact and not flimsy which is important for me. The great thing is that it is also incredibly creamy and soft. Doesn’t accentuate dry patches, doesn’t cling to them either and you don’t even need a lip balm underneath to be honest. It’s quite a forgiving lipstick. Since it is so buttery, it doesn’t last too long. I’d estimate that I get 3-4 hours of wear which I don’t even mind since I am left with a nice stain afterwards. It does transfer so be careful with who you are kissing (hint, hint). This is such a perfect lipstick of an amazing pigmentation, creamy and highly forgiving texture, of a light sheen but not shiny and makes teeth appear brighter. This will be the lipstick I will wear during this entire holiday season. I am on a hunt after more shades because this classic lipstick range seems to be everything I was searching for in a lipstick.
